Breaking Dawn: Twilight 4
by
Stephenie Meyer
Tracy Bock
, August 11, 2008
Breaking Dawn is filled with unexpected twists and nail biting suspense. Amazing ending...any other ending just wouldn't have fit! I've been following the series shortly after it came out, and I'm very satisfied with where Stephenie Meyer took the characters.

Blackwater is a very informative read, I truly learned a lot of hard facts I had no previous knowledge on. Be sure to check out Jeremy Scahill's original essay on Powells.

The Host
by
Stephenie Meyer
Tracy Bock
, June 22, 2008
Richly deep in characterization, Stephenie Meyer has woven together an amazing tale of humanity. It's very rare that a book makes me cry, and the host had me bawling on several of its lovely pages.

A must have! It is very rare that a book on religion provides you with unbiased information on different religions. Prothero does an amazing job! There is a great thesaurus in the back of the book. This is definitely one to keep on your shelf.

Winter Rose
by
Jennifer Donnelly
Tracy Bock
, April 24, 2008
Amazingly written. You don't even realize that it's 700+ pages, you will get to the end wanting more. The Tea Rose ( the first book) and The Winter Rose have been a delight to read. You get taken away into another time until the very end. It's hard to part with the characters. These books will have a place on my bookshelf for years.

Religious Literacy What Every American Needs to Know & Doesnt
by
Stephen Prothero
Tracy Bock
, April 04, 2008
Fascinating read. Has a very nice Dictionary of Religious Literacy near the end. Historical context of how we got where we are and how most Americans know little of their religion...and even less of those that surround them. I highly recommend this book, there are so few books on religion that don't preach to you. This book will give you unbiased knowledge about religions. I've honestly learned so much.
